Chapter 128: Must Be Recovered
(Last night's earthquake, the water in the cup shook out when the code word was coded, this is a thrilling chapter!) Peace be upon the disaster area!! )
"My lord, these people don't look like good people, don't be fooled!" Wei Wuding said as he said aside, his hand on the hilt of the knife at this time.
Chen Xiaoting smiled slightly, pressed back Wei Wuding's hand to draw the knife, and said to him at the same time: "Don't pull out the knife easily, we Jinyi Wei will see blood when we draw the knife!" ”
Hearing Chen Xiaoting's lesson, Wei Wuding glared at Hu Weide and the others, and then said to Chen Xiaoting respectfully: "The adult has taught me a lesson, and my subordinates have remembered it!" ”
Then, Chen Xiaoting turned around and slowly approached Hu Weide.
When he came to Hu Weide's side, he said, "If there is something, you can take it out!" ”
Hu Weide didn't hesitate, and said slowly: "My lord comes here with his ears!" ”
Cast a mist before somebody's eyes...... Chen Xiaoting secretly said in his heart, he wanted to see what tricks the other party played.
When he approached Hu Weide, he listened to the other party: "This official has a holy decree on him, I don't know if he can prove his identity?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting's body trembled.
Not because of the identity of Hu Weide, but because of the decree itself.
This is how important it is to do, and it requires the emperor from two thousand miles away to make a personal order, and it is no wonder that Hu Weide is so cautious.
…………
In the only third floor of the post station, the doors and windows were closed at this time, and there were only Chen Xiaoting and Hu Weide inside.
At this time, Chen Xiaoting and Hu Weide sat opposite each other, while Hu Weide was wearing his sleeve on his sleeve, and it took a while to take out a cloth bag from it.
I only heard Hu Weide say: "This is the emperor's will, take it for inspection!" ”
Seeing Hu Weide open the package, Chen Xiaoting saw the apricot yellow scroll inside, which was exactly what the Holy Decree should look like.
Chen Xiaoting didn't get up to get it, he was thinking about the meaning of this holy decree, it was really necessary for the emperor to personally issue an order to a seven-rank chief, just to check the military of the guard?
And looking at the way Hu Weide preserves the holy decree, it is very likely that this is a secret decree, a will that cannot be made public.
Thinking that it could not be made public, Chen Xiaoting knew how to choose, so he said: "Lord Hu, I still don't read the holy will, since it is the emperor's will for you, how can we others spy on the holy will?" ”
rejected Hu Weide's proposal very reasonably, Chen Xiaoting didn't want to get too deep into this matter, and the more he knew, the more dangerous it became.
Hu Weide didn't care about this, as long as Chen Xiaoting believed in his identity.
Hu Weide took back the holy decree, and then said: "As long as Lord Chen believes in his official identity, it's fine!" ”
In any case, Hu Weide came on the orders of the emperor, Chen Xiaoting naturally had to give him some respect, only to see him stand up and say: "Fang is just being abrupt, please don't blame Lord Hu!" ”
If you want to say that there is no mustard in your heart, of course it is impossible, but Hu Weide still needs Chen Xiaoting after all, so at this time he said magnanimously: "Chen Xiaoqi is also on official business, so if he has to do this, how can this official be blamed!" ”
No matter what they thought in their hearts, the two at least maintained a superficial harmony, and Chen Xiaoting also sat back in his place.
Then he asked: "I want to come to Lord Hu from Liangzhou, there should be an escort, why is it so embarrassing?" ”
Knowing that Chen Xiaoting didn't fully believe in himself, Hu Weide said: "We came in secret, and the accompanying guards shared a total of people, all dressed in ordinary clothes, and they were safe and sound all the way!" ”
"But when I entered the territory of Dongxiang this morning, a thief came out and snatched our official uniforms and letters, and the accompanying guards were all killed!"
Chen Xiaoting just listened quietly, obviously waiting for Hu Weide to continue.
"This official and a few scribes escaped in the chaos, and ran through the dense forest and thorns, so they escaped with their lives!"
As if to end the answer, Hu Weide deliberately concluded: "After that, we fled here!" ”
There was a detail that Chen Xiaoting didn't know very clearly here, so he asked: "When these thieves come, they will rob the official uniform and seal the letter, or will they rob everything?" ”
If it is aimed at things such as official uniforms and letters, then the meaning of targeting is too obvious, which means that there are people behind it.
Otherwise, how could a group of bandits know such a secret thing, and they just robbed Hu Weide.
Hu Weide said: "Those bandits rushed out of the forest, killed people when they saw them, and ......robbed them when they saw things."
In fact, Hu Weide didn't tell the truth, the official seal and official letter were in his package, but he lost them in a panic.
After Chen Xiaoting had roughly figured out the matter, he asked, "Master Hu, now that you are safe, what should we do next?" ”
No matter what the real purpose of Hu Weide's trip was, no matter why those bandits robbed him, now Chen Xiaoting just wanted to keep himself from falling so deep.
Therefore, he did not look at the emperor's secret decree, nor did he mention Hu Weide's suggestions, he only focused on doing a good job of guarding.
But hearing Chen Xiaoting ask himself like this, Hu Weide thought for a while, and then said: "The first priority now is to take back the official uniform seal letter, without these things, the official can't act when he arrives at the guard!" ”
Hu Weide's idea was crazy, so Chen Xiaoting said: "Your Excellency, you know, the order we received is that we are only responsible for guarding your safety, and it is the army that should do the work of suppressing thieves!" ”
The thieves are not so easy to take, and he Chen Xiaoting can't listen to Hu Weide's words, so he lets his brothers die.
had already expected that Chen Xiaoting would not agree easily, so Hu Weide said: "Chen Xiaoqi, you must know that you are not protecting the safety of the official, but also the safety of the official's errand, but if you can't get those things back now, the errand can't be done......"
"When the time comes, the emperor will blame me, and I, Hu, should be punished, but Chen Xiaoqi, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to get out!" Hu Weide said leisurely.
This big hat is buttoned down, even if Chen Xiaoting is determined, he feels that the choice is difficult at this time.
Hu Weide can fold his hands on the emperor, and when the time comes, he will put all the blame on him, and Chen Xiaoting can't afford this consequence.
But it didn't mean that it was so simple to agree, Chen Xiaoting said: "My lord, as you know, my brothers add up to only about 40 people, and there are not enough people to besiege and kill the bandits, so I still command the nearby guard station, or report to the Dongxiang County Ya...... Let them send people to surround and suppress! ”
Hearing Chen Xiaoting's words, Hu Weide looked at him like an idiot, and only listened to him: "This official came in secret, do you want to make everyone know?" When the time comes, the official will lose face, how will he do the errand? ”
And then, Hu Weide said: "You don't have to worry too much, this official just recalled that those bandits are no more than twenty people, if it weren't for the fact that there were too few guards around the official, there would be no chance for them to commit murder!" ”
Chen Xiaoting's face was pensive, and after a while, he said, "Dare to ask your lordship, what are the weapons used by these people?" Can you have bow and arrow armor? ”
The issue of equipment is very important, if these bandits are fully armed, they are still not so easy to deal with.
After Hu Weide thought about it again, he said: "Less than half of these people have blades, the others are holding wooden sticks and other things, and only the few people who take the lead are wearing shabby leather armor!" ”
Now Chen Xiaoting knew in his heart, all of them had swords, the captains were all wearing iron armor, and they also received strong bows from the treasury this time.
The number of people, weapons, armor, and equipment are all superior, and this bandit den can still break in.
Seeing Chen Xiaoting's thoughtful face, he saw Hu Weide stand up and walk in front of him, grabbed Chen Xiaoting's arm and said: "Chen Xiaoqi, you can't drag it any longer, the closer you drag it, the more likely it is that you won't be able to find it back, and then the errand will really be messed up!" ”
After gritting his teeth, Chen Xiaoting slapped the table and said, "Don't worry, Lord Hu, I will help you get your things back!"
Hu Weide was taken aback, and then said viciously: "We must chase it back, this official will crush those thieves and scatter ashes!" ”
